I scored it a draw. So, no, Gonzalez was not "robbed." This was a close fight that could have gone either way.
Same thing as when Gonzales lost to Rungvisai the first time, people cried robbery but my eyes did not see a robbery. Gonzales had the higher work rate but a lot of his work was pushed and some of it a little sloppy compared to Estrada. I happened to have Gonzales winning 7-5 however so many rounds were pick em rounds.
While I was watching I said to myself "I'm glad I'm not scoring this fight" it was that close. I felt a point or two either way was fine. The one lopsided score was an obvious payoff.
Gonzales out hit, out punched and had higher connect %. Had it 115-113 for Gonzales. I feel wrong guy won. 117-111 is just a gift. Flat out bias scorecard for Estrada from Carlos Sucre.
No he wasn't. I had it 115-113 either way, it depends if you score your fights based on activity or the harder, more significant punches. I had Estrada upon first viewing and thought the commentary was disgustingly biased. I've yet to re-watch it.
I had it 115-113 Gonzalez last night but I wasn't giving any 10-10s... On my card I noted that the 5th, 8th, and 12th could've easily been 10-10s (I gave 5 and 12 to Choc and 8 to Gallo). Estrada himself classily said he thought it was going to be called a draw and looks forward to a rubber match before year's end... In a fight with so many toss up rounds, that's the fairest result. While Roman's inside defense and counterpunching was MAGNIFICENT, he landed nothing consequential or hard enough to deter Estrada from coming forward. If Choc had sat down on his punches, he may have won those two judges over.... but then again, he might've gotten caught with something cos Gallo was throwing hard.
After a second watch I felt Gonzalez was more deserving. Many of Estrada's shots missed or were blocked. Of the four I considered swing rounds, giving Juan three of them produced a draw.
I scored for Gonzalez and felt he edged it 115-113...but no robbery just a close fight with multiple close rounds. I feel all 3 judges got it right in the realm of possible scores. Everyone cries robbery over every close fight. This was no robbery
7-5 for Estrada. I thought he was cleaner, more varied, and dictated most of the pace. He generally just seemed to want it more. People use the word robbery far too often now.
